My first thought was "of course, it doesn't unerstand Cygwin paths."
But, if that were true it should have failed completely on C, C++, and
F77 as well.
SO, if Dockeen, or anyone, can point me in the direction of creating a
2.95 stable version, it would be very desirable to have
setup.ini changed to advance "3.2" to the [current] status of "gcc".
